Prediction: 1-2
Fiorentina
Following a 2-1 loss to Roma at Stadio Olimpico, Lecce will be aiming to escape the danger zone when they take on Fiorentina in the Serie A round 10. The Giallorossi are eyeing their only second win of the process, but they will have a big fish to fry in Monday’s showdown. Since important midfielder Morten Hjumland misses the match through suspension, we are not tempted to put our money on the home side.
The Viola, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 4-0 loss to Lazio where they failed to turn their dominance into goals. Fiorentina defeated Lecce in each of their last two meetings at Stadio Via del Mare, which is probably the main reason why away triumph should be considered. Forward Riccardo Sottil is sidelined through injury, while midfielder Gaetano Castrovilli should recover in time to face Lecce.
Highlighted Player (Christian Kouame):
Christian Kouame is an Ivory Coast international who has been playing for Serie A side Genoa since 2018. Kouame started his youth career at Prato and after ending his loan spells with the likes of Sassuolo and Inter, he returned to Stadio Lungobisenzio.
The 185-cm-tall forward made his professional debut with Prato on September 6, 2015 in a 2-1 loss to Pisa. Christian Kouame started the match, but he was replaced by Alberto Aladje after 66 minutes. The Genoa attacker, though, has yet to earn a call-up for the Ivory Coast national team. He has two caps for the Ivory Coast U23 team, but he is still eyeing his senior team debut.
His main position is centre-forward, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. The Genoa footballer was born in Abijan on December 6, 1997 and he has a contract with the Rossoblu until June 30, 2023.
